Last month, Mojang finally released the highly anticipated Minecraft 1.19 update. This update introduced a plethora of exciting new features ranging from new mobs to pristine biomes. Sadly, every major update renders the previous mods useless or glitchy. Due to this, mod developers have to update their mods to make them support the latest version.

Many mods got their updates within a week of Minecraft 1.19's release. However, one of the most popular mods took almost a month. This is not surprising considering that The Wild Update was not a minor update and brought new light sources.

Optifine developers had to ensure that all 1.19 features ran perfectly in their mod. Development of Optifine for The Wild Update has finally ended, and the mod is now available for download.
